Written on
Chapter 1: Weekend Greetings and Curations
Hello, dear readers and fellow writers! I hope this message finds you in good spirits this weekend. Thank you for taking the time to delve into my curated collection, where I share a mix of captivating stories alongside nominations from fellow editors and enthusiastic readers within my network.
Today, I felt a wave of frustration regarding X and needed to express my thoughts.
Section 1.2: Reflections on Writing Success
In one heartfelt account, I detailed how I earned $10,000 along with a bonus of $154.28 by crafting a life-changing story. This piece offers a glimpse into my world of writing, featuring my business partner, my wife, my son, and his fiancée, who have all played pivotal roles in my journey.
Dr. Yildiz introduced me to another writing platform, Beehiiv, which facilitates monetization. I found it incredibly user-friendly, making it a great option for writers and affiliate marketers alike. His mentor achieved significant success through it, making it worth your time to explore.
Subsection 1.2.1: Comparing Newsletter Platforms
The debate between Beehiiv and Substack continues as two major players in the newsletter space. Dr. Yildiz has crafted a comprehensive guide to help newcomers navigate these platforms effectively.
He also shared an insightful article from his secondary account that serves as a fantastic resource for community building. If you're a budding writer struggling with engagement, this read could provide valuable insights.
Chapter 2: Expanding Horizons
I recently introduced my Substack site, which features newsletters from various writers contributing to our new publication, ILLUMINATION. You might discover some intriguing newsletters in this collection and connect with a host of new writers I’ve included.
This platform will serve as an interactive space for both writers and readers. My aim is to cater to diverse interests, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
For those new to Substack and feeling constrained by Medium, I highly recommend Dr. Yildiz's enlightening piece on why your Substack might not be gaining traction and how Medium could be inadvertently holding you back.
Section 2.1: Insightful Interviews
Today, Dr. Yildiz hosted an interview with Tim Denning, where he sought to uncover the secrets behind Tim's remarkable success on Substack. This discussion offers a wealth of knowledge that you won’t want to miss.
You can find many more enlightening interviews in the attached collection. I’ve compiled updates after introducing some fantastic stories I’ve discovered for you.
Section 2.2: Empowering Content and Community
As we continue to grow our publication, we welcome new writers and encourage them to introduce their newsletters. We will gladly promote them, and you can find our submission guidelines posted by the ILLUMINATION Curators who oversee this special publication.
Thank you for engaging with these stories and for being a part of our community. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
